All:

Per the discussion today on the block interface definition,
here is a derivation based on BIRD122 for just s2p 2-ports (but should
apply to s4p files with more math).  It  shows the gain sensitivity to
the explicit S11 term for TX and S22 term for RX from a reference impedance
definition (e.g., TX: S11=0 or 50 ohm to infinite impedance S11 = 1
and RX: S22=0 to zero impedance S11=-1).

In both cases, the transfer function S21 term is changed by a
factor of 2 (assuming no S12 term).  This is equivalent
to specifying the isolation interfaces with a unity gain ideal voltage
amplifier.

Sorry, but some of the prior material may have involved some
lost or private e-mails and also a presentation or e-mail  shown to
the ATM committee according to questions and exchanges in
the Dec. 14, 2010 minutes including:

Walter showed an email from Fangyi:
- Fangyi: The equation is at the bottom
- Bob: We have defined S12 as zero
  - The real voltage gain is a function of S11
- Todd: Is this because S11 can affect V1 and therefore V2?
- Fangyi: No
  - If V1 was fixed V2 would still be affected by S11
- Bob: The defaults should be zero for series impedances and
  infinity for impedances to ground.

The main point is that the complete interface needs to be known and
defined in the Specification (for S-parameters and perhaps
different for a SPICE model) to get the proper gain (S21 term).
